Assess Vaccine Response and Guide Vaccination Strategy
Go beyond standardized protocols. This semi-quantitative antibody titer test helps you determine a cat's specific immune response to Feline Calicivirus, enabling data-driven decisions on vaccination.

The Tashikin FCV Antibody Test is a valuable tool for modern, individualized feline medicine. While not a primary diagnostic for acute URI, this test measures a cat's antibody titer, indicating its level of immune response from prior vaccination or natural exposure. This allows veterinarians to assess whether a cat has adequate protective antibodies, helping to guide decisions about the necessity and frequency of revaccination, particularly for cats in low-risk environments or those with a history of adverse vaccine reactions.
Your Path to Individualized Vaccination:
Assess Post-Kitten Series
Confirm that a kitten has successfully mounted an immune response after completing their initial vaccination series.
Guide Booster Decisions
Use for adult cats to help determine if a booster vaccination is necessary, in accordance with WSAVA and AAFP guidelines on titer testing.
Manage High-Risk Cats
Evaluate the immune status of cats entering a high-density environment like a shelter or cattery to ensure they are adequately protected.

Prepare Sample
Prepare feline serum or plasma from a whole blood sample according to standard laboratory procedures.
Apply Sample
Using the provided dropper, add 1 drop (approx. 10µL) of the serum or plasma into the sample well (S) of the test cassette.
Add Buffer
Add 2 drops of the provided assay buffer into the sample well immediately after the sample.
Read Results
Interpret the test results at 10 minutes. The intensity of the test line can be compared to a reference card for a semi-quantitative titer assessment.
Track Immune Status for a Lifetime of Care
A cat's vaccination and immune history is a critical part of its lifelong health record. Logging FCV antibody titer results in VetEx.ai creates a permanent record of the patient's immune status over time, supporting a data-driven, individualized approach to preventative healthcare.
